fourth rebirth

Chi Zhe patted his cheek and forced himself to calm down. Under his warm fingers was a piece of ice, as cold as a piece of ice.

He couldn't tell whether it was a cold heart or the cold winter wind was too harsh, so he hurriedly wrapped up his clothes and walked to the inpatient department.

He walked very slowly at the beginning, thinking about how to arrange the next thing, how to tell the girl, when to see Guan Qi, and what to bring...

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic and chaotic his mind became, but the steps under his feet became faster and faster, slow, fast, trot... Finally, Chi Zhe started running in the hospital.

Panting heavily, the smell of the hospital medicine mixed with disinfectant was poured into the lungs from the nasal cavity, and the surrounding scenery was blurred.

The people yelling and scolding behind them, and the family members dodging with food in the corridor, all seemed to be phantoms.

Gunshot wound...Hospitalized...Sekizaki...

"Chi Zhe!" The voice was hoarse and crying.

Chi Zhe turned his head in a daze, and a slender and weak body fell into his arms, and he subconsciously caught it. It was the girl's warm and soft body.

"What should I do? Dad's condition has deteriorated again. The doctor said that if he can't bear it, then, then..." The girl was crying, crying hard, not like pear blossoms and rain. When she was really grieving, not many people still remembered the image. The great grief distorted her originally delicate and beautiful face.She cried hoarsely, hysterical pain and anger, but the expression on her face looked so helpless.

Standing stiffly, Chi Zhe looked at the girl's crying face, and suddenly thought wildly.

This is when girls are most vulnerable and need companionship.

At this time, he should give the girl a warm hug, wrap her soft and delicate hands with his palms, and comfort her gently but firmly in her ears: believe him, everything will be fine.And when the girl's heart is weakest, accompany her, take care of the girl patiently and attentively, help her take care of the elderly, take care of her younger brother, and get the approval of her family...

...This is what Sekisaki told him.

At that time, Guan Qi hooked his shoulder with one hand, swayed the wine in the glass with the other, crossed his legs, and chatted with him about the secrets of chasing girls.The warm breath with a faint smell of alcohol flowed ambiguously, the lights were dim, blurring his vision, and the hoarse and magnetic voice made his earlobes tingle for a while.

"Chi Zhe, come on, let me tell you, girls don't chase like that..." Faintly, he seemed to hear Guan Qi's voice again.

Sekisaki.

Chi Zhe was in a trance for a moment.Yes, he should stay now.Well, do as Sekisaki said.Chi Ran would not lie to him, since she said Guan Qi was fine, it should be true.

Guan Qi didn't often say that brothers are like brothers and women are like clothes. He has seen people with broken arms and legs in the street, but he has never seen anyone running naked on the street.

Well, he kept his own clothes.

Chi Zhe tried to open his mouth, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat was extremely dry.He clumsily wanted to stretch out his hand to pat the girl's shoulder, and hugged the girl deeply in his arms. He tried to move his hand a few times, but he couldn't lift it as if it was heavy.

...Well, my sister won't lie to me, Sekisaki should be fine.

Then why don't you call me?

He fell asleep?forget?

Why can Chi Ran know?

or……

Is this a so-called white lie?

If it's for his own good, Chi Ran certainly doesn't mind lying.

With this thought, Chi Zhe couldn't calm down anymore, and his brain started to run wildly.He suddenly remembered many things.

Gunshot wound, it’s okay if it penetrates, otherwise the bullet will stay in the body, and even swim in the body. If you are unlucky... Will Sekisaki...

All the holes were filled with tension and anxiety, and he was suddenly convinced of his guess.

Chi Ran suddenly pushed the girl away.

The girl looked at him in surprise and doubt.

"Wait, wait," Chi Zhe frantically took out his wallet from his pocket, and pulled out a credit card from it.

He pushed the card into the girl's arms under the girl's dull eyes.

"The password is your birthday, the last six digits, and there are six digits in it. If it's not enough, I'll send you more money. A friend of mine was injured, and I'm going to see him. That's it, goodbye." Chi Zhe's speech was very fast, and it was lunch time, so he was even more slurred in the noisy environment.

When the girl came back to her senses, all she saw was a hurried figure from her back.

"Chi Zhe!" The girl couldn't help shouting, her voice was almost shrill.

The people next to him were taken aback for a moment. It was the first time Chi Zhe heard such a voice from a girl who had always been gentle and gentle. He paused in his heart and stopped involuntarily.

"Stay here, okay?" Across the crowd, the girl spoke almost begging words to him.This was the first time Chi Zhe saw her in such a humble posture, and his heart seemed to ache when he saw her.

But... Sekisaki...

Chi Zhe closed his eyes, and said softly in the direction of the girl: I'm sorry.

Then... turn around and leave.

Chi Zhe, who left the hospital in a hurry, passed by a man who seemed to have known him before.

Before he could change his clothes, Chi Zhe rushed out of the hospital and went directly to the airport.In heavy snow, the plane was delayed.Looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky through the huge transparent glass wall, Chi Zhe finally had the leisure time to sort out his mood.

Sekisaki, Sekisaki...

The name he had repeated countless times on the tip of his tongue seemed unfamiliar at this moment.

The person he cares about is Sekisaki, but why does he care about him?

After the tension and anxiety passed, he even began to feel that his behavior was a little unreasonable.So, he couldn't help but want to give himself a reason.

Because he was reborn like himself?Because he accompanied him in the years of his death?Or is it because you... envy him?

Yes, Chi Zhe envied Guan Qi, because at the beginning, in his ideal, he wanted to be a person like Guan Qi.Tough, unscrupulous, with a mysterious profession to outsiders, playing in the world, living among thousands of flowers, not a single leaf touches her body.

He longed to be such a person, longed to be so independent, wanton and crazy.Such a person is like a paintbrush with strong colors. Some people may not like such bright colors, but no one can ignore such strong colors.Around such a person, other people seem to become a foil.

Therefore, he likes Chi Ran, Guan Qi, Chi Yiqing, and anyone with such a personality.

Because he was too pale.No distinctive resume, no distinctive personality, no distinctive preferences.He is as plain as a glass of boiled water. A normal society cannot do without such a person, but boiled water will never be in the hall of elegance.

... Well, restaurants and hotels only sell mineral water.

Poof, Chi Zhe was amused by his sudden thought.

Withdrawing his thoughts of running around with Snowflakes, Chi Zhe continued with his original thinking.

So, he is worried that Guan Qi is because he likes Guan Qi, and the reason why he likes Guan Qi is because he wants to be such a person, and he has all kinds of envy and hatred for Guan Qi?

……

Chi Zhe stroked his forehead, am I masochistic?

No, no, it doesn't make sense, change one.

For... Uh, Sekisaki stayed with me for so long when I was sick, and now it's Sekisaki's turn to be hospitalized, why should I be the one to accompany me in bed?

Well, this is more reasonable.

He rested his chin in his hand, thinking seriously.So, I'm going to...repay my favor?

As soon as he thought of this word, Chi Zhe's genius immediately conjured up the heroine in one of the most famous and widely eulogized myths in domestic mythology.Buy one get one free, with voiceover: Guanren~~~

Aunt Yazhi's voice was full of twists and turns, soft and plaintive.

Chi Xiaozhe was overwhelmed by himself, and his worries about Guan Qi were reduced a lot.

Well, it's cooked and ready to serve.

When Chi Zhe arrived in Kyoto, it was already early morning of the next day.When I arrived at the hospital, I gently pushed open the door and tiptoed in.

Looking at the man lying on the bed so quietly under the bright sky outside the window, Chi Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Sekisaki's face with blurred vision, he stayed for a while.After a while, I came back to my senses.Go downstairs, use the privilege given by Chi Ran to ask for Guan Qi's diagnosis report, and just sit in the corridor of the hospital and watch.After reading it, I stretched my waist, raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was three o'clock in the morning, which was the time when people slept most soundly.Putting aside a worry, sleepiness and exhaustion surged up together,

I found a hotel near the hospital, took a nap after a simple wash, and didn't wake up until noon.When he opened his eyes, his thoughts were still in chaos. Looking at the apparently unfamiliar room, Chi Zhe felt like he didn't know where he was for a moment.

Hungry stomachs are cramping, but they lack interest in food. This is the unique feeling of burnout after a long journey.Reluctantly swallowing half a bowl of hot porridge in the room, Chi Zhe took care of himself while thinking about what gifts to bring to Guan Qi.Inadvertently, his eyes glanced at the full-length mirror in the bedroom.

Messy hair tips, dark circles under the eyes, wrinkled clothes, and a sluggish look.

Chi Zhe frowned unconsciously, it was ugly.

Thinking of Sekisaki's medical records, it seems that there is nothing serious about it.How about... tidy yourself up before going?

It's always impolite to meet people like this.

Although... Guan Qi seems to have seen himself in a more downcast state?

Chi Zhe's face flushed slightly, remembering that every time he went to see the girl, he deliberately cleaned up his behavior an hour in advance, and the temperature on his face went up again.

Forget it, don't care, let's take care of it first.

Taking care of appearance is actually the same for men and women.When Chi Zhe tidied himself up enough to feel that he could see people, he went out of the shop, and when he looked up, it was already dark.

As a result, the original plan to go to the hospital in the afternoon was abruptly delayed until noon the next day.

"Guan Qi, tell me, how are you going to compensate me?" Chi Zhe crossed his legs, shaking his feet like a rogue, which was very inconsistent with his obviously well-groomed appearance, "Look, for you, I rushed here overnight, and I even abandoned the girlfriend who was about to get it. How about it, show loyalty." After a day's rest, Chi Xiaozhe, who was full of blood and blue, was very frightened.

"Well, it's enough to show loyalty." Putting down the spoon in his hand, Guan Qi looked at the clean porridge bowl with unfinished regret, wiped his lips slowly, washed his hands, Fang raised his head, Looking at Chi Xiaozhe with a half-smile, "Since such a kindness is so great, it seems that the only way to repay it is with a body promise."

"Promise with your body?" Chi Zhe raised his eyebrows, and lifted Guan Qi's chin with one finger, "Come on, let me see if it's qualified enough."

Guan Qi cooperated with showing a "shy" smile, "Master, are you still satisfied?"

"Well, the skin looks good." Chi Zhe touched Guan Qi's young, healthy and shiny skin twice, feeling a bit like a playboy, "It's just that his brain is not enough. There are so many people around him, and he can still Get yourself into the hospital. Master, give careful consideration to the IQ of future generations. You can't just ignore the foundation of your ancestors just because of your face. Chi Zhe's tone is sad.

Being molested, Guan Qi was not annoyed, let Chi Zhe's hand caress his face, and smiled, the smile was bright and sinister, and the hooligan voice came out again, "Master, you really misunderstood me. Since I live No matter what happens to other people, some of them should go to the morgue.

Chi Zhe was startled, and the movements of his men slowed down.

Sekizaki picked up an apple leisurely as if he didn't notice it.The clean, sharp blade is embedded in the firm, luscious flesh, and the thin, transparent peel forms a long strip.

"Chi Ran called me yesterday." His movements were still neither fast nor slow, with a strange sense of rhythm, "You arrived yesterday, didn't you?"

Chi Zhe didn't know what to say, so he could only nod silently.

"As soon as you received the news, you rushed over, even if it was Chi Ran, your most trusted sister told you that nothing serious happened to me, right?"

Chi Zhe continued to nod.

Guan Qi sighed, and put the peeled apple in Chi Zhe's hand, without looking up, he just took another apple, "Chi Zhe, you should already know what I do."

"I know. It's just..." Chi Zhe lowered his head and took a bite of the apple in his hand. It was very sweet and crisp.

"Such things will happen again in the future."

"Yeah." Chi Zhe buried his head in the apple.

"My hands are not clean.

"Yeah." He ate an apple.

"They died horribly."

"Yeah." Continue to eat apples.

……

"Are you listening to me?" Guan Qi finally raised his head and looked at Chi Zhe with raised eyebrows.

"I'm listening." Chi Zhe finished nibbling the apple in his hand, and took the one that Guan Qi had just peeled. "I know this too, but I don't understand it. Why are you telling me this now?"

He had always known what Sekisaki was like.Hidden under that sunny smiling face is a selfish, indifferent and unscrupulous soul.Sekisaki may not be a pure bad guy, because what he does does not threaten the interests of most people, and what he seeks is a win-win situation.Standing on the opposite side of most people, the last thing you can get is failure.However, he is by no means a good person, as long as he stands in front of him, no matter what kind of person he is, he is like an obstacle to Sekisaki, so there is no need to stay.

However, according to Guan Qi's means, he has thousands of ways to make himself accept him, why should he talk to himself about these things when he is still lying in the place under Chi Ran's control?Although according to his own personality, it is true that he will not do things absolutely, but Chi Ran is not necessarily so.She didn't even need to deliberately plan or do anything, as long as she found an opportunity to deliberately leak the news of Guan Qi's injury to some people, it was enough.

So, why are you talking to him now?

"Because you didn't come to see me immediately after you arrived in Kyoto." Sekisaki said in a tone.

Didn't come to see you right away?Chi Zhe blinked blankly. Is this... a reason?

"I'm here, I came early yesterday morning, and I read your medical records!" Chi Zhe argued, "I only left when I saw that you were sleeping too soundly."

"But you never came back."

"I'm so tired, I've slept all day."

"Have you taken care of it?" Guan Qi suddenly changed the subject, his eyes shifted to Chi Zhe's carefully groomed hairstyle, and the corners of his lips curved slightly unconsciously.

"Uh……"

"Chi Zhe, have you ever thought about it?" Guan Qi's tone was still so unhurried, "You received a call from Chi Ran, and the first time you left behind your helpless girlfriend, you arrived in Kyoto overnight But when they arrived in Kyoto, after ensuring my safety, they didn’t come to see me, and they didn’t appear in front of me until they made themselves look good.”

"The first thing I can understand is that you miss your friend, so what about the second? I think we are probably suffering together. It is not uncommon for me to see you when you are down, let alone just rushing overnight? "

Chi Zhe didn't answer, and the atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Guan Qi seemed unaware, "Chi Zhe, you know. I am bisexual. If this continues, I will misunderstand, really." His voice was soft and gentle, but he looked directly at Chi Zhe's face There was a firmness in his eyes that couldn't be ignored.

He is asking for an answer.

Chi Zhe stood up suddenly, and the chair rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

"I'm leaving first, and I'll see you tomorrow."

His voice sounded calm and calm, but looking at his back, he seemed to be running away.

Watching Chi Zhe's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Guan Qi hooked the corner of his mouth, packed up the fruit basket and fruit knife on the side, and lay down on the bed again, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

This time, he was injured a little bit seriously, which can be regarded as the biggest injury he has encountered since his rebirth.However, compared to the previous life, it can be said that the fate of being half-dead and fleeing frantically to the root of the disease for half of his life can be said to be quite good.

Hey, there are people in the court who are easy to handle.

It's just that the Chi family...

Guan Qi remembered Chi Ran's call to him.

The same is kidnapping, although the degree of danger may be about the same, but kidnapping the young master of the Chi family as a friend and kidnapping him as a lover are two completely different concepts.

In his previous life, he had some meaning for Chi Zhe, but... Chi Yiqing was too strict.

And in this life, since Chi Zhe was 9 years old, he has stayed by his side.He took care of him, cared about him, his food, his clothes, all were taken care of by Guan Qi.His hobbies and interests are all closely related to Sekisaki.

He knows which type of chocolate Chi Zhe likes best; when he knows which custom-made clothes Chi Zhe wears, his shoulders will relax unconsciously; when he knows that Chi Zhe is confused, he will bite his thumbnail like a child; The more nervous Chi Zhe was, the calmer his face became...

Chi Zhe is not used to pillows, but there must be a soft duck down pillow on the bed, because when he gets up in bed in the morning, he always likes to rub on the pillow, and occasionally bury his head, beautiful Its name is, so that there is an atmosphere of lying in bed.

Before Chi Zhe eats snacks, he must be supervised to wash his hands several times, because after eating, he always unconsciously licks his fingers with his tongue.

Chi Zhe...

It was a child he raised with his own hands, and he remembered all his habits, all the little details of life.

The child he raised in the palm of his hand, it is hard to imagine that one day he will wrong his preferences and change his habits to please others.

When that girl appeared, Sekisaki felt uncomfortable.Why is she standing there, let Chi Zhe follow behind, holding a heart, holding everything he has behind him.Except for that face that can be seen, poor study, weak personality, and incompetent parents, what else does she have that makes Chi Zhe look so fancy?

Guan Qi examines Chi Zhe's emotional path with a mixed feeling of an evil mother-in-law who has been robbed of her only son looking at her daughter-in-law and a family who has never been named.

The more you pay, the less you will get in return, but the heart of paying attention will become stronger and stronger.

The same is true for Sekisaki.

Because of selfishness and indifference, I can't tolerate everything shaped by my hard work falling into the hands of others.

Even if it's not love, it should be his, his!

Sekisaki thought through gritted teeth.

So far, he still can't figure out his feelings for Chi Zhe.In fact, strictly speaking, there is not much difference between Chi Zhe and the girl in Guan Qi's eyes, the same weakness and the same incompetence.

Oh, by the way, Chi Zhe's family background is much stronger than that of girls.Well, maybe the mind should be added, after all, Chi Zhe has a photographic memory.

However, that couldn't cover up Chi Zhe's own weakness.Weak, incompetent and lacking in assertiveness, he obviously has a good background and a strong background but doesn't know how to use it.Just like a canary kept in a cage, the noble birth and gorgeous appearance are just for the owner to talk about.

If Chi Zhe hadn't been brought up by him, maybe he wouldn't even look at such a person.

However, even if it's just a canary, it's a canary he raised with his own hands.He didn't care to build another birdcage of pure gold to hide him.

Thinking of Chi Zhe's appearance, maybe... Jinwu Zangjiao?He loves the word.

It doesn't matter if he is incompetent, as long as he has enough ability.It doesn't matter if he doesn't have an opinion, he can help him make up his mind.

The more Guan Qi thought about it, the more excited he became.

As for the Chi family...

Guan Qi frowned slightly, and he thought of Chi Ran's phone call again.

In fact, if Chi Ran hadn't noticed something, as Chi Zhe thought, he shouldn't have revealed some information to him here at this time.

It's a pity that Chi Ran is too sensitive. Compared with Chi's parents, her elder sister knows Chi Zhe as well as Guan Qi.She knew her affection for Chi Zhe, and also felt Chi Zhe's unusual feelings for him.

It was precisely because of this that he had to act early.He knows Chi Ran's methods.If there is no accident and Chi Zhe is not awakened, this is very likely to be the last time they meet.

A person's life is so long, he will meet many people and many things, Chi Ran always has a way to make himself one of the passers-by in Chi Zhe's life.

But, in his plan for the next ten years, Chi Zhe is his!his!As a planner, Guan Qi expressed great indignation at Chi Ran's unreasonable warning behavior: How old is Chi Xiaozhe, how can you be so strict? !Aren't you afraid of the rebellious period? !

What?Chi Xiaozhe is very obedient, there is no rebellious period?That's not OK!It was me who raised him like this!This is the fruit of my labor!

As for my management of Chi Zhe from head to toe...

Cough, don't you know what love means?It's called caring, caring, understand?That kind of Chi Ran is surveillance and management, that's wrong!

However, he is not without a chance of winning. The common rebirth is his hole card. What he needs now is to constantly strengthen Chi Zhe's dependence and resonance on himself.

such as……

Guan Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc.
